Los Caballeros Radiantes deben volver a alzarse. Los antiguos juramentos por fin se han pronunciado. Los hombres buscan lo que se perdió. Temo que la búsqueda los destruya. Es la naturaleza de la magia. Un alma rota tiene grietas donde puede colarse algo más. Las potencias, los poderes de la creación misma, pueden abrazar un alma rota, pero también pueden ampliar sus fisuras. El Corredor del Viento está perdido en una tierra quebrada, en equilibro entre la venganza y el honor. La Tejedora de Luz, lentamente consumida por su pasado, busca la mentira en la que debe convertirse.

Anhelo los días previos a la Última Desolación. Los días en que los Heraldos nos abandonaron y los Caballeros Radiantes se giraron en nuestra contra. Un tiempo en que aún había magia en el mundo y honor en el corazón de los hombres. El mundo fue nuestro, pero lo perdimos. Probablemente no hay nada más estimulante para las almas de los hombres que la victoria. ¿O tal vez fue la victoria una ilusión durante todo ese tiempo? ¿Comprendieron nuestros enemigos que cuanto más duramente luchaban, más resistíamos nosotros? Quizá vieron que el fuego y el martillo tan solo producían mejores espadas.

Un'ondata di sdegno invade la città. In quel momento Lafanu Brown sta rientrando dalla sua passeggiata: è una pittrice americana da anni cittadina di Roma e la sua pelle è nera. Su di lei si riversa la rabbia della folla, finché un uomo la porta in salvo.

In the stratified world of ancient Rome, there are citizens and slaves, soldiers and senators, priests and priestesses - and Caesar Augustus rules them all. Yet his authority holds only as long as the people believe the gods of Rome support him, particularly the beloved goddess of the home and hearth, Vesta. As chief Vestal Virgin, Pomponia continues to devote her life to protecting her order and the eternal flame of Vesta. She has risen to a position of esteem in Rome and is a valued member of Caesar’s inner circle. But now a contagion ravages the city and tension rises....

It is a world of power and privilege, secrets and sacred duty. It is the world of ancient Rome.

The story concerns the attempts by a prince and his followers to shield themselves from a terrible plague which is devastating the surrounding area and to carry on living lives of pleasure. Their attempts ultimately prove futile. The Red Death is the name of the infectious disease which causes people to die within 30 minutes. Those who are infected bleed profusely from their skin, especially their faces, before they die. Some six months after the arrival of Prince Prospero's guests, a masked ball is held for them.

Here the emotional journeys of two German Jewish refugees are reconstructed from a substantial collection of family material, archives and secondary historical sources, which are used imaginatively to explore and illuminate a wider history. The letters evoke how it felt at the time to be a refugee and express eloquently the distress and losses involved in exile, separation and internment, providing intense dynamic snapshots of how they managed their emotions from day to day. The author shows the complex interrelationship between personal lives and social/historical events.
